    Has anyone had the problem with their car/van where the door locks cycle intermittently while driving? While the vehicle is off I can lock the doors manuelly and then push the button on the door to unlock them but I can not push the button on the door to lock them. The keyless entry remote also will lock and unlock the doors. If so what was the cause? Our van just started to do this today. Thanks

    Martel, I think I can help. pull the right front sill plate(plate on the floor at the door opening)…pull the carpet up so you can get to the wire harness. Unrap the wire harness and look for a white wire and a lt. blue wire… follow each wire until you find the solder joint.

    What happens there is moisture leaks into that area and corrodes this connection

    Cut the solder joint out and install weather proof butt connectors…I have seen this more than once so I think this is your problem with the doors not locking…cycling maybe a different problem….fix the wires first. Hope this helps!
